      Pada jaman sekarang, biasanya sudah ada hubungan antara si gadis dengan si pemuda, sebelum kunjungan itu dialkukan, sehingga kemunggkinan pinangan itu ditolak sangat kecil.
      Nowadays, there is usually already a relationship between the girl and the young man before the visit [of the suitor’s party] takes place, so the possibility of the proposal being rejected is very small.
